    It might taste good but vanilla is the base flavor of pretty much all sweets.

    It won’t hurt to try it! Chefs are constantly experimenting with new ideas for flavors; sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.
    Remember though, the coffee will darken your cookies. Also, temperatures above 188*F tend to bring out more bitterness in the coffee.

    It won’t be the same, and without vanilla, it will taste like something is missing in it.

    I’d use Kahlua
    I personally don’t like French roast coffees b/c i find their burnt bitterness to be an undesirable taste.
    However if you do use it then brew it, and substitute it 1:1 for the vanilla b/c regardless of flavors, your dry to wet proportions have to remain the same.
    Just so you know ;in Mexico they routinely add chocolate to their coffee
    Good luck

    That would be good, a straight substitution (same amount) is fine using prepared coffee, maybe make the coffee a bit on the strong side.

    You can use a lot of different flavorful liquids in place of vanilla in your baking: booze, fruit juice, tea, or any other flavor extract. There are usually at least a few others at the supermarket right there by the vanilla! You can also try adding flavor with dried herbs or spices or citrus zest, adding a little water if your recipe is super sensitive regarding wet ingredients, since these are not liquid.
